Vasilis was at first taken back by the strange girl's antics, completely dropping his cool exterior. But then his smile returned. [color=fed024]"Well, not everyone has the aptitude for magic like this."[/color] He placed a hand on his hip and gave the girl a sideways glance. [color=fed024]"But if you show promise, maybe I could teach you a thing or two about magic."[/color] He winked at her and flashed a toothy grin.

As the smallest of the three became occupied with her companion, Irene had turned to the other two, who were fortunately willing to cooperate with her feared presumptions. [color=afafaf][b]"Miss Aerith and Sir Hiro... I see."[/b][/color] A brief pause to register their identities. [color=afafaf][b]"Hiro... as in a [i]hero?[/i] Your parents gave you a truly virtuous name."[/b][/color] A faint smile escaped her lips, amused by the man's outlandish name. The peculiarity of their existence; from attire to mannerisms and names were indisputable. However, she could see it in their eyes. Their honest-to-goodness innocence and lack of awareness betrayed the faint darkness manifesting from them.

[color=afafaf][b]"My name is Irene. My partner's is Vasilis. Now, as much as I would like us to have a meaningful conversation, I'm afraid this is nary an ideal time nor place for it. This area of the city has been invaded by lawless vagabonds, tormenting the residents here day-in and day-out. Allow us escort you out for now, as part of our apologies."[/b][/color] The young lady offered, walking past them and back to the way they came. [color=afafaf][b]"Please, have no fear. You can trust me and him. We'll make sure no harm occur to the three of you. Isn't that right, Vasilis?"[/b][/color]

[color=fed024]"Wuh?"[/color] Vasilis ajusted his posture.[color=fed024]"Y-Yea, that's right!"[/color] He nodded, still grinning ear to ear. [color=fed024]"We'll keep you safe!"[/color]

[color=afafaf][b]"Not very convincing."[/b][/color] A pale sigh, Irene gestured to the foreigners once more. [color=afafaf][b]"Now then, shall we go?"[/b][/color] She smiled.
